Michigan State Police were trying to figure out what exactly transpired Tuesday around 6:15 p.m. when a man got out of his white Chrysler 300 on the shoulder of the southbound Lodge Freeway around 7 Mile Road in Detroit and fired a rifle at a stopped car that then drove off, Fox 2 reports.
The shooter was taken into custody and the freeway was shut for about five hours, Fox 2's Hannah Saunders reports. First Lt. Mike Shaw, a State Police spokesman, tells Fox 2 that the shooter appears to have some mental health issues.
Police believe the person who was shot at and drove off was a Good Samaritan who had stopped to help a 66-year-old woman who was attacked physically by the gunman after getting in an accident up the road, Fox 2 and the Detroit Free Press report. She was taken to a hospital.
One person at the scene told Fox 2 that we're "supposed to be commuting, not shooting."
Police searched the shooter's car and found at least five guns, which included handguns and rifles, the Free Press reports. The man is not a CPL holder.
Police want to question the Good Samaritan.
